02 - 1 tsp salt
03 - ½ tsp black pepper
04 - ½ tsp garlic powder
→ Special Sauce
05 - 4 tbsp mayonnaise
06 - 2 tbsp ketchup
07 - 1 tbsp yellow mustard
08 - 1 tbsp sweet pickle relish
09 - ½ tsp smoked paprika
10 - ½ tsp onion powder
→ Sliders Assembly
11 - 12 mini slider buns
12 - 6 slices cheddar cheese, halved
13 - 12 dill pickle slices
14 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
15 - 1 small tomato, thinly sliced
16 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
17 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
18 - 1 tbsp sesame seeds
# How to Make It:
01 - Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, smoked paprika, and onion powder in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.
02 - Combine ground beef, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Mix gently and portion into 12 equal balls. Flatten into patties slightly wider than the buns to account for shrinkage.
03 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Place cheddar halves on patties during the final minute to melt.
04 - Brush cut sides of buns with melted butter. Toast in a dry skillet or oven until golden and lightly crisped.
05 - Spread special sauce on both bun halves. Layer cheesy patty, pickle slice, onion, tomato, and lettuce on bottom bun. Close with top bun and garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
06 - Arrange sliders on a platter and serve immediately while hot and cheese is melted.
